Which one is doomed to collapse and why? Regards, I seem to recall somebody saying, repetatively and at length, that legacy car makers were living on borrowed time, and the German automakers didn't know what was about to hit them... don't recall who though.

The problem is that if May's deal is voted down, the ball is in May's court. Labour is trying to block a no deal in advance by tabling amendments to the government's legislation, but May may not play ball. If May has a choice between no deal and a referendum, her party might force her to go for a n...

Spain has a veto... Not over the Withdrawal Agreement they don't. It is a simple majority vote by all MEPs (including the UK's) and if passed would be adopted if there was a super-qualified majority of the 27 member states - so only 20 states need to agree (provided that 20 represent at least 65% o...

I've only read the first 50 or so pages of the draft agreement, but Gibraltar is included with the British Sovereign Bases in Cyprus, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man in one of the definitions in the early pages.

The difficulty is that substantially the government controls the parliamentary agenda. I reiterate my point that parliament has to be able to put forward a decision which stops no deal. It is possible with a reliable majority. It, however, might take a cross party government. I don't think the numb...

The Health Secretary reportedly told the Prime Minister and her cabinet that he ‘could not guarantee that people would not die’ if no Brexit deal was agreed. Matt Hancock is reported to have said that lives will be at risk due to a shortage of medicine in a no deal scenario during the stormy five-h...
